A FAMOUS ASSAULT.
How the Union Troops Carried
Missionary Ridge.

One of the splendid battles of the war
was that of Chattanooga. In the current
number Of the Century General Fullerton
tells the story of the firing of the signal
guns to take the rifle pits at the base of
the ridge occupied by Bragg, and the rush
of $1,000 men. The General says: "Ihe
enemy were thrown into confusion, and
took precipitate flight up the ridge" He
adds: MANY prisoners and a large num-
Der of small arms were captured And
now follows a clear statement of what he
soldiers did for themselves most in
structive and brilliant passage:
''The order of the commanding gem
eral had now been fully and most success
fully carried out. But it did not go far
enough to satisfy these brave men, who
thought the time had come to finish the
battle of Chickamauga. There was ahalt
of but a few minuets, to take breath and
and to form lines: then, with a sudden i'm
pulse, all started up the side of the ridge.
Not a commanding officer had given the
order to advance. The men who carried
the muskets had taken the matter into
their own hands, had moved of their own
accord. Officers, catching their spirit,
first followed, then led. There was no
thought of protecting TANKS. though the
enemy's line could be seen stretching be-
yond on either side; there was no thought
of support or reserves.

Progress at Butte.

BUTTE, July Elm an article on the
progress of Butte the Inter Mountain says:
"Twenty-one years ago yesterday John
Noyes arrived in Butte. No one was here
to welcome him except Bill Owsley, Joel
Ramsdell and a few other old-timers who
are still with us. The grass on what is
now Main street was three feet high and
the hill above Butte, where the tramp OF
feet keeps the ground as bare as a billiard
ball, was covered with a luxuriant growth
and looked in the distance like a wheat
field. Within two miles of where he
camped, there is now property whose as
sessahle value is $780, ,000. Twenty-Five
thousand people have here built up the
busiest and l~iveliest and most prosperous
city in the entire northwest. The biggest
mines, mills and smelters in the world are
almost within a stones throw, and this
very place in which then Bill Owsley's
old violin scraping away On the "Arkan-
saw Traveller" furnished the only music,
is now awakened by the screeches of
two hundred steam whistles and the ham
mering of four hundred mill stamps.
Two railroads are here and three more al
most in sight. While for SOM years sub

Observation-Disclosures Doings-
LOYAL to the Core.

BUTTE, July 7.-Chief Justice Neon
nell made an eloquent address at the
Fourth of July exercise. He said:
There is no section of the country which
halls with greater delight the result of
that conflict than the south. He alluded
to this in passing, not for the purpose Of
opening again the wounds of the war for
he spoke the sentiment of the people of
the south when he said they believed the
wal had settled the question of the rights
of the federal union forever. and they were
willingtc abide by the decision. Said he:"1
know the people of the south and | know
that you cannot find one man in fifty thous.
and there, old or young, whether he Went
into the war and bears honorable sears
from the gallant soldiers of the narth, or
whether he stayed at home, or was born
since the war, the universal feeling Is, that
the judgment has proved a blessing to
these United States, and they are satisfied
with it, and the south would go to war to-
day to keep the colored people from be-
ing put into slavery. They believe that
they are entitled to freedom, and that they
come under this grand proclamation, that
all men are created equal. The universal
sentiment in the south to-dap is to forget
the chickering's and heart-burnings that
grew Il of the late fraticidal strife and
indefatigably engage in the work of max
ing this the greatest government that the
world has ever known

OF money IS sent away for such commodi-
ties which might be retained at home. AT
a recent farmers meeting in Fargo, OAK,
Theodore Louis gave some practical hints
on this matter. He said: "My nephew
lives in Wisconsin, eight miles from St.
Paul. He sold butter in Menominie as
low as Sc to 10c per pound and got tired
of it. He went to inquiring for a better
market. & notice it depends mostly on
ourselves how we seek and how we find a
market.) He makes good butter; pretty
soon he found a commission maj in st.
Paal, who would try his product. He got
a good shipping package and sent along a
sample. The commission man wrote him
the article was excellent, and he could dis
pose of all my nephew would send him.
In the fall my nephew said to ne: my
butter this summer has averaged me TIC
per pound over the freight, and | hold a
contract to furnish butter to a st. Paul
hotel at Csc per pound There is a moral
in this for every farmer here who can't
dispose of his butter. We don't always
look outside of our fence. 1t takes some
moral courage to strike out in a new line
for ourselves and do differently from what
our neighEors are doing, especially when
they grin and say things that sound I'M
pleasant to US, but it often pays, We are
all of lis too apt to follow in the direction
that somebody has taken before us and SO
mapped out for u.s."

thronged with people, and strange faces
in the city were numerous. Trains, stages
and private c%onveyances brought from
the surrounding interior, visitors in great
numbers, all bent upon being present at
Montana's metropolis on the glorious oc-
casion. Fusilades of crackers, lombard
ment of torpedoes, cannonades of giant
powder and intonations of musketry re-
sounded continuously. and at night the
heavens were illumined with an prial
display of Illuminating works.
The main feature af the day was the re-
view of the city militia, as made by Col.
Chas. ID. Curtis, the officer especially APP
pointed by Governor Leslie to perform the
task. The capitol guard, mounted, clad in
regulation dress, with yellow trimmings
most conspicuous to the eye, and the
Meagher guard with their helments gleam-
ing in the sun, afforded a picture most
pleasing, and elected demonstrative APP
probation of the many present. After
numerous maneuvers by the respective
companies, lasting about an hour, they
were dismissed, not however. until the
inspecting officer had highly compliment
ed them upon their appearance, and eN-
pressed his terms of approval at the cred
liable display made.

ton took place at lrish-American hall, in

parade. Col. Curtis. on behalf of Miss
Quirk, in a neat address, handed the en-
blem to the color bearer, which was re-
ceived amid tremendous applause. Cap
tain Ross Deegan, for the company, grace
fully acknowledged the receipt of the
valued gift, and in most appropriate re-
marks, kindly thanked the fair donor for
this most inspiring and handsome me-
mento.

Money in Cattle.

Some points were made lately on stock
raising by Prof. McGinnis which applied
to Montana in general as we'll as to Mime
sofa. His main purpose was to show the
benefits of a cold climate like Minnesota's
for ~stock-raising. His points, briefly
stated, were: 1. The steadiness of the
weather; not cold to-day and a thaw to-
morrow, but an even temperature that
a be easier met than the variable tenn
perature of more southern states. 2.
The immunity from disease in our clear
and health-giving atmosphere. 3. The
small cost of land as compared with that
farther south and east. 4. The east and
cheapness with which the various root
crops are valuable to stock-raisers can be
grown in Minnesota. S. The rapid in-
crease of the stock business in Minnesota,
proving that there is money in it. 6.
The money value of the stock raised as
compared with similar stock raised
as compared with similar stock farther
south; the length of time required to feed
and house stock-whether two or four
months out of the twelve-not the ques-
ton not how long or how much feed, but
how much is the product worth over its
cost; illustrated by figures showing that
the net gain in Minnesota equals or ex-
ceeds that of other states. Z. The con-
slant improvement of the market in Min
nesota, with special stress laid on the new
stock-yards recently started. All these
points are practical and suggestive. As
regards root-crops, Minnesota will have
no advantage aver Montana If we turn
our opportunities to account. The pota-
toes received here from the Judith Basin
show what we can do.

BIan e the Coming Man.

Washington special, July L: Meeting
q Republican yesterday who only q few
days ago was ~gesticulating at almost every
street corner against the denomination of
Mr.. Blaine-who didn't believe in a de-
feated candidate forcing himself upon the
party again. | asked him if he was of the
same opinion still. He said; mo, | am
not. | begin to think that | have been
wrong. My inclinations nave always been
toward Sherman, and | have tried to make
myself believe that Blaine was forcing
himself upon the party, and if he succeed
ed we would suffer another defeat in 1888.
But when after the smoke of the first bat
tie in Ohio has cleared up and shows the
condition of the Blaine-Sherman forces as
they stood at Lima, the other day, when
Sher1nan's right-hand-man, ex-postmaster
Waldroff, endeavored to get a resolution
through the Allen county Republican
convention, instructing delegates to the
state convention to vote for q resolution
pledging 0hlo's vote to John Sherman for
president in 1888, and the resolution was
voted down by 80 for.s Blaine and 81 for
Sherman, amid great excitement and enthu-
siasm, and when | read that of the 41o prom
inent Republican editors and politicians of
the northwest, when canvassed, only IS
are pronounced for Sherman, while 23S
are for Blaine-and Blaine is in England,
Sherman manipulating for the nomination
in Ohio and elsewhere-I am frank to ac-
knowledge that somebody else is doing
the forcing act, and it really looks as if Mr..
Blaine is the choice of the Republi can
party fer its standard bearer in 1888. If
John Sherman can't do better than that in
his W state, he might as we'll retire from
the contest. And Cox OF Cincinnati, the
Republican leader of Hamilton county,
says that if the attempt had been made to
pass such a resolution in that county,
Blaine would have beaten Sherman four
